Quantum Computers

Apparently, scientists have now figured out ways to increase computing speeds in computers exponentially by using different combinations of the traditional 1s and 0s of a normal computer, including using both at the same time. O_o You can have one of your own for around $10,000,000, and even then, you'd still have to know how to use it. :D

It would be veryyyy funny though.

I love Revonzz

(Also it's cool to put stuff about yourself in your signature if someone else said it)

The actual amount of information needed to describe quantum (that is, non-deterministic) state is greater than the amount of information required to describe classical (probabilistic) state by a factor of two. So, not necessarily exponentially faster, most of the results are still unclear and many media outlets will stretch things to the absolute extreme in order to make a buck.
